Find Windows pagefile location through command line and wmic

03 July,2015 by Tom Collins

Question: How can I find the Windows pagefile location through the command line? I don’t have access to a GUI on a server and need to identify the pagefile.

 Answer: It is possible to utilise the wmic  - (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line). This command will list some basic information about the pagefile – such as : Current usage, pagefile location, Peak Usage,Pagefile size

wmic pagefile list /format:list

You could also use the Powershell invoke-expression cmdlet, to execute the wmic command

invoke-expression "wmic pagefile list /format:list"

Another way of returning the pagefile location through Powershell is


Get-WmiObject Win32_PageFileusage | Select-Object Name
